A view of the Kaaterskill Rail Trail on the MTHS campus. Walk this serene trail to access the top of Kaaterskill Falls.
Find the trail just beyond the 1913 Ulster & Delaware Train Station. It is a pleasant 1.5 mile walk to the falls and trail junctions with North-South Lake State Park.
The 1913 Ulster & Delaware Train Station on the MTHS campus, the last of its kind in Greene County. MTHS fully restored the train station, which is now on the state historic register, with the help of generous volunteers and donors.
The 1913 Ulster & Delaware Train Station is open during events and seasonally during the summer and fall. Contact mthsdirector@mths.org to inquire about times.
